Broche Ballet is adult-focused ballet instruction. The beginner path does not assume childhood training, splits, or a home studio.

Start with the Absolute Beginners “Sticky Buns” program. It teaches plié, tendu, and basic barre vocabulary at a pace built for adult bodies and adult schedules.

A 7-day trial opens the full on-demand library, including this program. A separate free-account path opens a smaller on-demand set after you create an account. That set has no price. It still requires an account. It is not the full catalog.
